We build bridges between builders, funders, and researchers to transform the funding mechanisms for public goods. Alongside our sister series, Earth Commons, which focuses on nature’s commons, we aim to cultivate a sustainable ecosystem by uniting diverse communities from Web2, Web3, research, philanthropy, and industry.Funding the Commons (FtC)&nbsp;focuses on innovating public goods funding infrastructure through integrating Web2 and Ethereum platforms. Our initiatives, including conferences, builder residencies, hackathons, and impact pilot projects, accelerate the growth of the public goods funding ecosystem and shape the discourse around commons. Our community fosters collaboration, mentorship, and innovation.Key Initiatives:<ul><li>Conferences:&nbsp;FtC has organized 10 international conferences, strategically designed to foster innovation in public goods funding. These events unite global leaders in Web3, public goods funding, and decentralized governance to share knowledge and promote impactful collaborations.</li><li>Builder Residencies:&nbsp;These 1-month co-living experiences drive public goods projects forward through community workshops, mentorship, and peer support. Our Thailand residency, for example, explores applied use cases of commons funding in a local context.</li><li>Hackathons:&nbsp;Designed to ignite innovation in public goods funding infrastructure, FtC hackathons offer sponsor challenges, prizes, and mentorship to empower developers and integrate existing PGF platforms.</li><li>Impact Pilot Projects:&nbsp;FtC incubates selected projects, leveraging its ecosystem’s tools to contribute to sustainable public goods funding infrastructure.</li></ul>By fostering a global community of builders, researchers, and funders, FtC is accelerating the growth of the public goods funding ecosystem and shaping the future of commons stewardship.
